Schwab US DIVIDEND EQUITY ETF(NYSEMKT: SCHD) is one of the most popular dividends on the stock exchange (ETF) you can buy. However, this rather complex product can also help investors who want to buy separate promotions, depending on the function of the selection process used.
Balancing your Schwab US dividend Equity ETF, directed at well -managed companies with high yields, indicates that energy stocks can be a place for dividend investors to pay attention to today. Here are the top three options for ETF portfolio.
100 shares at the Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF ETF passes a rather strict selection process. First, only companies that have increased dividends for at least 10 consecutive years are viewed. (Real Estate Investment Trust Funds are removed from consideration.) Then the compositional score for the remaining shares is created.

The score includes cash flows into total debt, return on property, dividend yields, and the company’s five -year dividend growth rate. 100 companies whose scores are the highest are included in ETFs. Without reassembling each metric, ETFs ETF of Schwab US is trying to focus on high quality business with both growth potential and attractive harvest. Basically, this is what most dividend investors try to do by choosing shares.
This makes the ETF portfolio a great reference point for dividend investors. And at the moment, after the annual portfolio, energy stocks seem to be an important attention. This sector accounts for 21% of the ETF assets, which is the highest weight. If you did not look at the energy stock, the Schwab US dividend stock portfolio offers you to be. Its three best energy holdings are Conocophillips(NYSE: a policeman)Is it Chevron(NYSE: CVX)and Eog resources(Sneezing: eog); Look at each one here.
The Conocophillips dividend yield is 3.6%. The dividends increased every year for eight years. The annual pace of dividend growth over the last five years is attractive to 20%. By the way, the Conocophillips has fallen by about 25%in the last 12 months and the oil price has fallen even more than the oil price. It has a complete meaning.
Conocophillips is a pure game energy manufacturer. Thus, the upper and essence of its income report depends entirely on the price of the goods sold. The dividends must also be slightly volatile on the side. And, in fact, it was reduced in 2016. At that time, through a deep decline of energy. Even if you have a particularly strong stomach and a positive oil perspective, this is a more aggressive investment option.
The Chevron dividend yield is about 5%. The company increased its annual dividends for the huge 38 consecutive years. The average annual increase in dividends over the last five years has been slow and stable about 6%. Chevron stocks have fallen by about 15%in recent years, slightly less than oil prices. Again, this more modest decline makes sense.
Chevron is an integrated energy company, which means it produces oil, transport oil and process oil. In the event of an exposition through the energy value circuit, it helps to mitigate the characteristic industry and downs, as each industry segment only works slightly differently.
In addition, Chevron has a long conservative story, including leverage. This gives management freedom to take debt to support business and dividends through the energy downturn (this debt is repaid when oil prices recover). This is a good choice for investors looking for an energy exposure almost at any time, but today the yield makes it particularly attractive to conservative dividends.
Eog resource dividend yield is approximately 3.7%. The dividends increased by eight years and the average annual increase in the last five years was 27%. In recent years, stocks have fallen by about 12%.
As with the Conocophillips, the top and bottom line of the Eog, the prices of goods are mainly determined. Although dividends have risen rapidly as oil prices rising, oil prices for oil prices may have a negative impact on dividend potential. Nevertheless, the main dividend was more resistant than the Conocofillips dividends.
It is noteworthy that the Eog debt -ownership ratio is approximately half lower than that of Conocofillips and approximately similar to Chevron. And Eog 2016 Did not foresee their dividends, which shows that investors looking for a pure game drill will probably be more attractive than Conocophillips. Nevertheless, Chevron still wins for the consistency of dividends, given the impressive increase in dividends.
Even with a quick look at the Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF ETF energy holding, it is clear that dividend investors have to do their homework by collecting shares. Even a useful selection process, as is the one used by ETF, may not take stocks that match your investment method. For example, while Conocophillips is a great company, Eog has proven to be a more consistent dividend payer in the (production) energy niche above. But if you are by nature you are a conservative, reliable Chevron dividend and noble yields will probably win any of the other ETFs’ best energy holdings.
